Is it worth working here for the big name? on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Advice: The upper management really needs to listen to their staff and employees and not disregard them for having even the slightest of difference in opinion.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Is it worth working here for the big name?
What did you not like about this institution?
If you're looking to have a life, look elsewhere. If you're looking to advance and grow, keep searching. The management here takes no advice or concern for their staff members. I tend to be a shier person; If you're more on the quiet side, you're considered an "outsider" and are shamed and penalized for it. The long grueling hours with subpar benefits don't help their case either.

Highly Reputable on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Provide more opportunities for advancement within the firm. Show your workers that you value their hard work. Find ways to make the environment less stressful.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The firm has a high national reputation. The lawyers are some of the best in the industry. I enjoyed all the people I worked here. It is an enjoyable place to work at. The work was challenging at times.
What did you not like about this institution?
It is hard to get a promotion at this firm, so don't expect to grow a career out of this. Expect to work a lot of long hours and dealing with stress.

Typical ""Big Law"" Experience, Mostly on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
I'm aware the size of the firm means it has to operate in a certain way, but people should be treated more like individuals and less like cogs in a machine. People have to have time to recharge and have to be motivated by the realistic chance of promotion, and they also like to see their ideas for change put into motion.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Most staff and many attorneys are pleasant to work with. Job security is not much of a concern, nor is staying busy. Some perks are pretty good.
What did you not like about this institution?
Few people are concerned with helping their subordinates maintain an appropriate work-life balance. Advancement can be difficult. Things are kind of slow to change in general.

Arrogant, inflexible and insults their own clients on work calls on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Take a serious look at how your people engage in transactions. Jones Day should be an asset and work to complete transactions instead of insulting clients and preventing deals from getting done.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Haven's seen anything compelling
What did you not like about this institution?
I have worked with quite a number of large law firms on M&A transactions over my career. I have never experienced anything like Jones Day. They consistently are the largest obstacle in completing the transaction. They are absolutely incapable of coming up with or responding to alternative ideas to work around the challenges they present. They take hard line positions and when confronted by actual law showing that they are incorrect, they show no humility, cannot seem to apologize for repeatedly getting things wrong, and seem do do nothing well beyond driving up billable hours. Quite possibly the worst behavior I have witnessed from their attorneys is actually disparaging their own client on calls with opposing counsel (saying that the client doesn't know what they are doing). These folks are the absolute worst.

terrible sexist culture - avoid on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
None. I would be wasting my breath to try.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Nothing - literally nothing. if I could give zero stars I would.
What did you not like about this institution?
Initially I thought the incredibly sexist and toxic work environment was specific to the Australian offices as they had failed to gain any momentum in the market. I realised it was a culture that came from the top in the US and got out as have many others. There are some really difficult partners and their appalling behaviour gets overlooked - even when lawyers/secretaries keep quitting because of it.
